Three different levels of terraces and observation decks allow guests to observe the principal focus of the Miraflores Visitor Center, the Miraflores Locks of the Panama Canal, from a variety of perspectives. Inside, a 3-D film offers a chance to travel the length of the canal, as well as back in time to its construction. The center's exhibition halls focus on different aspects of the canal: its history, the biodiversity of the region and its significance for international trade.
